Bricks and verticality. A winning combination. I really hope this is the beginning of a trend.

It could make for happier owners, too, with potentially lower energy costs and lower maintenance in the long run.

Love the brick too, especially in this neighbourhood.

Is there a significant price difference between precast cladding and glass cladding?

Also if the cladding is over the concrete parts of the structure aren’t the savings negligible, as most the heat is lost through the glass?

Precast cladding is more durable than window wall and could last longer. With regard to energy costs, the more glass you have, the more the rooms heat up in the summer and cool down in the winter.
